Want me to move or cancel any of them?What is Grok Bot?
Grok Bot is the always-on AI teammate product from xAI and Cursor. You create named Bots, give each one a job, and they work 24/7 on their own persistent cloud computer — with a browser, a filesystem, and a terminal — pinging you only when they need approval.
Grok Bot is not the Grok chatbot. Grok is the assistant you chat with on X and grok.com. Grok Bot is a separate app for delegating real, multi-step work — like running your Discord presence with Postiz.
Own Cloud Computer
Every Bot gets a persistent cloud machine with a terminal. Postiz runs there, so your Discord posts go out even when your laptop is closed.
Routines
Turn any task into a routine that runs on a schedule. Your Bot drafts, schedules, and reports on Discord content without being asked twice.
Approvals Built In
Bots ask before changing external systems. Review the Discord posts your Bot prepared in Postiz, approve, and it publishes.
How Postiz Works with Grok Bot
Postiz is listed on the Grok Bot plugin marketplace. Add it to a Bot and the Postiz skill, CLI, and command reference are installed on its cloud computer — the Bot can then manage your Discord workflow on its own.
- ✓Type /add-plugin postiz in a Bot chat, or add it from the Plugins sidebar
- ✓Store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret when prompted
- ✓The Bot reads the bundled SKILL.md and learns every Postiz command
- ✓Works in every Bot on your shared workspace, on desktop and iPhone
- ✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before anything is published

Message Your Bot
Desktop, iPhone, or a group chat

Grok Bot: Routine saved: friday-discord-recap.Discord rules Grok Bot follows
Grok Bot reads the Discord rules from postiz integrations:settings before scheduling. These are the ones that most often change what gets published.
- ✓channel is required and must be the Discord channel ID. Grok Bot fetches available channels with postiz integrations:settings.
- ✓The Postiz Discord bot must be invited to your server with permission to post in the target channel.
- ✓Attachments go through postiz upload first; the Bot cannot send a raw path or external URL as a file.
- ✓Discord messages are limited to 2,000 characters. Ask the Bot to split long updates into several messages.
Grok Bot and Discord: frequently asked questions
How do I post to Discord from Grok Bot?
Add the Postiz plugin with /add-plugin postiz and store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret. Name the channel and the message. The Bot runs postiz integrations:settings to get the channel ID, attaches media if needed, and schedules the message through Postiz. You approve before it sends.
How does Grok Bot know which Discord channel to post in?
Postiz lists the channels the Postiz Discord bot can see. Grok Bot fetches them with integrations:settings and matches the name you used, such as #announcements, to its channel ID. If several channels match, it asks you to pick one before scheduling.
Can Grok Bot attach files or images to Discord messages?
Yes. Point the Bot at an image or file and it uploads it through postiz upload, then attaches the returned media to the message. Supported formats include PNG, JPG, MP4, and PDF. Raw local paths and external URLs are not accepted by Postiz.
Can Grok Bot post to several Discord channels at once?
Yes. Name multiple channels, or connect several servers in Postiz, and the Bot schedules the same message to each with its own channel ID. You can vary the copy per channel in the same request, for example a short teaser in #general and full notes in #announcements.
Can Grok Bot post recurring Discord updates?
Yes. Save a routine such as a Friday dev recap or a daily standup summary. The Bot runs it from its own cloud computer, drafts the message, schedules it through Postiz, and reports back in chat. Approvals keep a human in the loop before anything is sent.
